RedirectView to external pdf

[copacki]

Hi,
I'm trying to use RedirectView in my controller to redirect to a pre-generated PDF.

my handInternalRequest method returns this:

return new ModelAndView(new RedirectView(url));

It seems to be finding the PDF, but it isn't being opened by adobe. It is rendering it like a text file in the browser. I tried to set the responses ContextType to application/pdf, but that isn't working either.

Any ideas? What is the proper way to redirect to a PDF file using spring?

This actually works fine. I had a pathing problem with my pdf file.
